Vallejo's future uncertain at Real Madrid

One of the standout names when it comes to departures at Real Madrid is undoubtedly Jesús Vallejo, who has just put in a good performance for Spain in the U-21 European Championship. The 22-year-old center-back, who played 8 games last season and whose time at the club has been marked by injuries, seems to be the one to keep.

Because with the arrival of Eder Militao, Zinedine Zidane had to choose between him or Nacho Fernández (29 years old). The academy graduate has spent many seasons as a substitute, accustomed to not having much protagonism, and usually performs well in his few appearances. So selling him would more than make up for it.

However, considering the young Spanish defender's history of physical setbacks, the fact that he seems to be the chosen fourth center-back can raise doubts. Furthermore, with that role, he would likely have few minutes, which could hinder his progression. And for now, nothing is clear.

A loan move would be a good option, although he has already been in that situation for a year in Germany, where he also performed well. This would postpone the decision about him and Nacho for a year and allow Vallejo to gain experience in the top flight. On the other hand, it would mean giving up a good amount of money for the academy graduate's transfer...
